From Detection to Notification
The Spot Water Sensor is an advanced microprocessor based design capable of detecting distilled water. Many water sensors work by detecting a drop in resistance when water bridges two electrodes. Since distilled water doesn’t readily conduct electricity, these sensors fail to register its presence. These resistance types rely on electrolytes present in the water, therefore being unable to detect distilled water due to it’s high resistance.
The entire circuit is encased in epoxy giving it a waterproof finish. The sensor is able to withstand being submerged in water for prolonged periods. The sensor has an SNMP OID for monitoring across a network, and will therefore report its critical condition at anytime before returning to its normal state.
Optional Raised Stand
12mm or 24mm stand height
for installations where a raised detection point is required. For example a drip tray that can be damp, but when liquid reaches 12mm height an alert is generated
